ragazzo so low (ragazzo solo)

From the album Phreek March 2018

A Starman came travelling- stayed for a while

Gave us his stories, aave us his smile

I still hang on his words as he shines in the universe

Will the Saviour Machines keep him safe in his oddity?

All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

So Ashes to Ashes, I'm Low but not down

The Width Of A Circle, the tears of a clown

There's a Black Star in view, All The Madmen are missing you

And they dance in the street, Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

I pull on a finger and then cigarette

I'm listening for life signs, for spiders and suffragettes

Diamond Dogs on patrol as they chase Lady Grinning Soul

And the Jean Genie's here, recollecting her Golden Years

All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

Well nothing much Changes, we're frozen in Time

We're walking through Quicksand, we're Rock 'n' Roll Suicides

Lay the real thing on me you Cracked Actor's and Pretty Things

It Ain't Easy you see, we've got Five Years for dying in

All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

We go Up The Hill Backwards but this is No Game

We're looking for Heroes, we're shooting for Fame

So the Kooks take a bow, they're all up and romancing now

Starman waits in the night, if I sparkle he'll land tonight

Now this young dude is old,

And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

Now this young dude is old,

And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo

the dance

From the album Phreek March 2018

Too much pressure in my head keeps resurrecting

Scenes from ancient history stops me thinking clearly

Roll your stones away, keep your dogs at bay

Need to find some balance, stop this interference

Change the radio station, block this static nation

Lift me out of here, where the air is clear

Sonic paradise, white noise saviour

And I hope, but I don't pray

No one's listening anyway

Strike a pose, take a chance

Join the dance, joint the dance (see you on the other side)

So you left me reeling, kicking chunks out of the

Ceiling; I was flailing - life support was failing

Reciprocity; Serendipity

Screaming spinning falling, trying to take it all in

I was in denial, 'cause the truth was vile

Chained to memories of how things used to be

Time to change the path, time to change this

Break your chains, breathe in deep

Life is long, talk is cheap

Second skin, second chance

Join the dance, join the dance (take it to the bridge now)

Ten years later and I'm feeling so much better

Pulled my shit together, worked out you should never

Blame yourself when fate kicks you in the taters

You can't plan for stupid, just remember Cupid

Will not leave you hanging, wants to keep you banging

So I met my match - thinks that I'm a catch

Cider drinking wench: make me happy

And I swear, this is it

We're a pair, we're a hit

We're a team, we advance

In the dance, In the dance (yeah)

La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la

From the album Phreek March 2018

I'm listening, what you got to say?

Shit happens, people go their own way

Time can change your mind and the tide can

Wash you out to sea

Stop crying, it messes up your face

Be brutal, give it to me straight

Don't give me sugar pills give me truth and

Tell it like it is

Life is too short to regret your failure

Learn the lessons but don't let them nail you up

Try again and this time make things better

Don't forget that we're all writing pur own page

Empty Stage

Keep talking, this is getting good

Small steps towards some understanding

You need to tell me where it all went wrong

Call it therapy for free

I'm learning, opening my eyes

Old memories come back in a new light

Like a film I saw, cut with footage

Lying on the floor

Life is too short to regret your failure

Learn the lessons but don't let them nail you up

Try again and this time make things better

Don't forget that we're all writing pur own page

Empty Stage

Seems sad but I can understand

It's time to move on with a new plan

Leave the past behind, keep the good things

Somewhere in your mind

Don't worry, things will all be fine

Scars heal with alcohol and time

Let the feelings go, there's more acts to

Come in this phreek show

Life is too short to regret your failure

Learn the lessons but don't let them nail you up

Try again and this time make things better

Don't forget that we're all writing pur own page

phreek boogie

From the album Phreek March 2018

Well you've been here before and it's not easy

When all you seem to find are cold cold hearts

On the cold cold street yeah you miss that heat so:

Just get your swagger on and; Keep calm and carry on and

Remember that the sun is there, just sleeping

It won't be long until she's breaking through

Taking all that snow weighing on your soul so

Chuck out your winter blues ; dig out your dancing shoes

Tell me how it feels just

Pulling on those Cuban heels

Let the sun shine on your face and kiss your

Fear and pain goodbye; Don't let it rule your life

Kick those heels up, whirling like a fool

Yeah I just want to dance with you

(pause) Do the Swim, do the

Frug, do the Bird yeah anything you want to

La la la la la - hoo hoo

And you can't tell me that you don't enjoy this;

I see the smile growing on your face

As you lose control to the growling bass line

Come on it's party time; Break out the beer and wine

You're moving easy like a dancing ninja

I love to watch you as you shake your thang

Feel your heart beat time as your lips touch mine please

Let this go on forever; Something for us to treasure

We're going to party 'til the sun comes back up

Cause life's for living 'til they put you in that wooden box

Yeah we can worry 'bout the sleep tomorrow

I wish I'd gone to bed, nobody ever said

Kick your heels up, whirling like a fool

Yeah I just want to dance with you

(pause) Do the Swim, do the

Frug hell I'll even do the Monkey. Let's get Funky

La la la la la - hoo hoo

Dad dancin', dad dancin'

La la la la la - hoo hoo

The rhythm's gripping you it's taking over

Your feet are moving to the bass drum beat

Hear the soaring horns, it's a perfect storm yeah

This groove is in the heart; no tearing us apart

I love the way you move it makes me happy

I love the way the music lifts you up

So I'm staying here for as long as you'll have me

Just like my baby said; yeah you're a long time dead

Lock the phreeking door

Cause no one's leaving here before the band have

Played us off our feet and then we'll

Go out and find some shack with some Massive Attack

Or maybe skanking beats can keep us on our feet

I don't care what it is just don't go stopping this

Kick those heels up, whirling like a fool

Yeah I just want to dance with you

La la la la la - hoo hoo

Yeah I just want to dance with you

La la la la la - hoo hoo

Yeah I just want to dance with you

nine years gone

From the album Phreek March 2018

I REMEMBER THE DAY

FORTUNE TOOK YOU AWAY

STILL NOT REAL IN MY HEAD

YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO BE DEAD

MUCH TOO YOUNG IT'S SO CRUEL

SO MUCH STILL LEFT TO DO

SO MUCH JOY IN YOUR HEART

IT STILL TEARS ME APART

NINE YEARS GONE, WE MOVE ON BUT YOU'RE

MISSED LIKE HELL, FARE YOU WELL MY FRIEND

I HAD NO WAY TO KNOW

WHEN WE MET AT THE SHOW

THAT'S THE LAST TIME I'D SEE

YOU OUT LIVING AND FREE

YOU TOLD SAR "FRANK BLACK'S GREAT"

IT WAS FRANK TURNER MATE

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT NOW

BUT IT STILL MAKES ME HOWL

NINE YEARS GONE, WE MOVE ON I STILL

RAISE MY GLASS, WRONGBOW CLASS MY FRIEND

SO I'M THINKING OF YOU

WHILE I'M DRINKING A BREW

SPANISH PSYCHO WITH GUN

SPANISH RED WINE AND SUN

SOMETIME'S LIFE IS A BITCH

TAKES THE GOOD LEAVES THE SHIT

AND IT'S BROUGHT HOME TO ME

WE CAN'T CHOOSE WHEN WE LEAVE

NINE YEARS GONE, WE MOVE ON BUT YOU'RE

MISSED LIKE HELL, FARE YOU WELL MY FRIEND

NINE TEARS GONE, WE MOVE ON I STILL

RAISE MY GLASS, WRONGBOW CLASS MY FRIEND

you're the one

From the album Phreek March 2018

Well I'm not much to look at and I'm

Not blessed with countless riches

Life's road's been a little bit bumpy

And I've hit my share of hitches

Well take them on the chin

Yeah suck it up, suck it in

And if you've got no master plan

Just do the best you can

Life's here, it's yours to take

Everybody makes mistakes yeah

So yeah - you''ve made your bed

Certain things can't be unsaid

Well it’s a cruel cruel world out there

So if you find someone who cares

Don't ever let them go

Let them know

You're the one

And I want you to understand

Experience has made me a better man

I've done some bad bad things but I've

Learned from them and I'm not going to make the same

Mistakes, a second time

Cross my heart and hope to die

And I'm sorry but you're stuck with me

And you didn't even know I was a little bit country

Life's here, it's ours to take

Looking forward, feeling great and

Sometimes the stars align

Though I don't believe in a grand design and

It’s a cruel cruel world out there

And if you find someone who cares

Don't ever let them go

Let them know

You're the one

And it's true it all comes round

Karma can be so profound and

You get what you deserve

If you give you can take, If you love you can make

Amends for the past, you can make things better

You can call it quits, put it in a letter

As a message in a bottle, send it out to sea

Send it round the world, let the love flow freely

Well it’s a cruel cruel world out there

So if you find someone who cares

Let them know

You're the one

take another swing

From the album Phreek March 2018

It's clear to me- I've been walking round with my eyes shut

Its news to me - that things were getting rough, and that you've had enough of us

So tear this down, send in the clowns

Bring out the band and listen to the big finale

No compromise - now I see a smile is just a snarl

No sentiment, that was yesterday, now get the fuck out of my way

This can't be real, I feel the steel

Impaling me and I'm begging you to show some mercy

Fall apart - spears in my heart

Pregnant pause, it’s the calm before the storm so

Take the fuckers with you, use your scattergun

No-one leaves this place alive I'm having fun

Atrocity - well it's OK all's fair in love and war

Dichotomy, I want to hold you and I want you underneath a bus

Confusing times, passionate crimes

Tempestuous seas, well I'm feeling pretty green around the gills

I'm slow to see - there are some things that can't be unfucked

I'm holdng on to a memory; to a shadow of a life

Take out the trash, rake out the ash

This fire is dead and you need to get your head straight

Drift apart - harden your heart

Set a course heading for a new horizon

Opportunity comes knocking

Dub be good to me, I'm moving on

Live and let die, you only live twice

Please believe - it's the truth tomorrow never dies

It's a part of this rich tapestry

Take the positives and set them free

Possibilities are endless

So take another swing, just take another swing

snowblind

From the album Phreek March 2018

Separated; Disclocated

Disenchanted; Disconnected

It's my fault I should be stronger

I can't take this any longer

Snowblind

Watch the people through my window

I can't join in I'm not like them

Walk this room for hours without end

Caught inside my; private prison

Snowblind

Watch the minutes ticking over

Feeling sick of this hangover

Time goes slowly when you're sober

Just stop thinking, just keep drinking

Snowblind

Out of water, out of order

Full of hate and schadenfreude

Take me home I don't belong here

Let me go don't make me stay here

Snowblind

control

From the album Phreek March 2018

Oh boy I read the news today

And wondered what would Lennon say

Too many people toting guns

Too many mothers losing sons

And it just seems obscene to me

Just take them off them, obviously

It's not impossible to solve

All that is missing is resolve

How many children have to fall

Before somebody grows some balls?

How many daughters have to die

Not knowing what they did or why

A lonely shooter in a school

Pissed off with life, or just a fool

Can't have the means to take a hit

We need to talk about this shit

So please explain to me just how

Guns must be such a sacred cow

Amendment two was needed when

The country had militia men

That was two centuries ago

And time's have changed a little so

Amend the constitution back

Stop making children take the flak

It might be a Right, but it's so wrong, and Lennon

Put his finger on it when he wrote his song:

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

Too many people toting guns

Too many mothers losing sons

How many daughters have to die

Not knowing what they did or why

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control

So please remember Bailey Holt

15 years old and not at fault

Tuesday was just a normal day

Until some cunt blew her away

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control

I don't like Mondays, Mondays suck

Sometimes it's hard to give a fuck

But when you're angry or you're sore

It's not worth killing people for

So put the gun down think it through

It's not the brightest thing to do

There's only two ways this can end

You'll end up dead or in the penn

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control

And I don't get the NRA

I just can't see the world their way

Imagine, like John Lennon said

That it was your child that was dead

Don't tell me that

We can't end this

Time to change the rules

And take control

open up your eyes (dark stalker version)

From the album Phreek March 2018

Every day I wonder what you're thinking

Spend my hours just trying to work you out

When I saw you it felt like Karma

Thought you felt it too; now I have my doubts

But when you look my way

It brightens up my day

If only you could see

How much it means to me

See me

I just can't eat, I just can't sleep

Thinking of you makes me go weak

I'm in a daze, can't concentrate

You are my drug, you are my fate

Open the door, let me come in

Give me a chance, give me a spin

You hold my heart, don't let it break

This love inside, it's no mistake

I'm yours to take

Open up your eyes

When I spotted you I had to have you

Spend my hours just keeping tabs on you

I've been making plans for us together

Need to get you alone to see them through

I've followed you around

In secret, underground

Now I know where you go

And live and work and I'm

In control

Checked out the house, tested the doors

Found my way in, went through your drawers

I know your age, I know your name

I have no fear, I have no shame

I know you like Massive Attack

My favourite band, how cool is that?

I keep your pants close to my heart

Give them a sniff when we're apart

It's time to start

To open up your eyes

Bumped into you out on your own

What a surprise! Who could have known?

Bought you a drink, long cold and tall

Slipped you a Mick - Bless Rohypnol

You start to feel slightly unwell

Room starts to spin, I'm there to help

My cars outside, I'll rescue you

Now you're with me, my dream come true

Can't wait for you

To open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Open up your thighs
